EP147 - The Cold Open — Christian Music, False Prophets & Talking Across the Divide
Episode notes
The plan was a cold open. It turned into the whole episode. Reggie and Brian follow the conversation wherever it goes, from why Christian music sounds the way it does to a gym conversation with a man who assumed a Christian couldn't talk to him, and on to why political conversation keeps collapsing.
KEY TOPICS:
- Why there is so little good music about ordinary life as a Christian
- What counts as worship music, and playing Bethel and Hillsong songs in church
- Self-proclaimed prophets and faith healers
- "Those weren't Christians": disagreement is not hatred
- Having a real conversation without the party labels
- Dogs, shelters, and whether three is too many
- Titus and a church that has been playing defense
SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: Titus 3:10

- Brad Wampler, Rooted in Logos podcast
- Bob Dylan's gospel-era albums: Slow Train Coming (1979), Saved (1980), Shot of Love (1981)
